Introduction
This privacy policy explains how Pack 495's Pack495-org Website collects, uses, and discloses
the information of users of the Pack495-org (the "Pack495-org Website," or "our Website").
|
Collecting Your Information
Information is collected through the Pack495-org Website. Please note that we
may correlate and supplement this data with both aggregate and personally
identifiable information gathered from other dens within our pack. For
example, we may collect personally identifiable information and information
relating to scout programs, and then share this
information with committee members for use at Pack495-org.
The personal information you may
provide to Pack495-org is separate and distinct
from any personal member information that you may have provided to the Boy
Scouts of America through your local council. Therefore, updating or submitting
personal information at Pack495-org does not update information in Boy Scouts
of America membership files. Should you need to update your membership
information, please contact your local council.
Important: Pack 495 voluntarily complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA) of 1998 and does not use its Website to collect any personally identifiable information for children
under 13 years of age. When we request personally identifiable information to create an account on
Pack495-org, we take all reasonable and customary measures to gain parent or guardian permission
prior to accepting information from children under the age of 13 years of age, up to and including denying
children the age of 13 the ability, whenever possible, from creating an account. When "name", "email address"
and other key information is requested for account approval by a parent or guardian, this information is
temporarily stored, pending such approval. In the event that the parent or guardian declines access to
the child or does not respond to the approval request within 10-days, the information is deleted from
our files.

Information Collected Through Oue Website
When your den leaders register your scout on the Pack495-org Website to create their den web pages,
we collect personally identifiable information, including (but not limited to) your name, physical
address, email address, phone numbers, medical history, and guardian information. All of this information
is mandatory for our web site to work; while den leaders can register your scout at Pack495-org without
providing this information, we will be unable to place your scout on his den web page without it.
We may also collect personally identifiable information through purchase games, forms, surveys, contests,
emails we receive from you, and your other interactions with our Website.
When you use our Website we may collect a variety of technical data, which we store in both aggregate and,
if you are registered with Pack495-org, personally identifiable forms. This data includes (but is not limited to) your IP
address (a unique number that identifies your access account on the Internet), domain, and Web browser information.
We may track the page you visited before coming to the Pack495-org Website and the page you
link to when you leave the Pack495-org Website, which of our pages you access, and how long
you spend on each page.
The Pack495-org Website uses "cookies," which are small pieces of information stored on your computer.
Cookies let our Website recognize previous visitors to our web page, record a visitor's progress from page
to page, and recall certain information a visitor entered previously. For instance, a cookie may
store your password, or note that you're interested in camping gear. You can choose to decline our
cookies (e.g., by setting your browser to reject cookies), but if you do, some parts of the Pack495-org
Website may not operate properly. We may also use tracking images and applets to collect the same information.
We do not allow third parties to collect aggregate and other anonymous information about our visitors through
the Pack495-org Website. Nor do we sell, trade or otherwise exchange personal information you provide
with any third party who are not under confidentiality obligations regarding the information.
Finally, note that our Website may contain inks to other websites on the Internet. Please remember that
when you click on one of these links, you are leaving our Website and entering another. Again, we are not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these other websites, and encourage you to read their
privacy statements (which may differ from ours).
